Han Qingyun said, “But seriously, stop trying to cause trouble. She can still go and file an official complaint. My father used a lot of words to get her to calm down and advise her to cut down the amount that you needed to give. Since the remittance slips are still in her hands, those are concrete evidence. Besides, the stuff that you all bought was pretty high quality. WIth all of that accumulated at her place, it wouldn’t take long for your teachers and classmates to recognise them, so none of you would be able to escape from this either.”
Han Jinyu didn’t understand, but she was already frightened.
Although Han Jinbao was also confused, he actually didn’t know a lot of the legal matters. On the contrary, he had followed the other badly-behaved boys and watched a lot of them obtain harsh punishments, so he didn’t bother to give these facts a check either.
After Han Qingyun left, the Han family immediately burst into tears.
The second brother Han and the second sister-in-law cried. They weren’t ever able to get so much money from the family. The children cried as they couldn’t even get a simple egg or a piece of candy since they were short of money.
Han Jinbao and Han Jinyu also cried…
Old Man Han sighed heavily and fell on the kang without moving.
The old lady was so frightened that she cried again. The eldest brother Han quickly pinched her and patted her chest. This night was going to be tough…
Old Man Han finally woke up and he found that everyone was sluggish. His eyes were both dead and empty as he looked like he was going to have a stroke.
The eldest brother Han was taken aback as he quickly went to call the doctor.
Han Jinbao shouted, “Look, that shrew made my father so angry!”
The eldest brother Han said angrily, “Stop saying stupid stuff, you’re just making me angry!”
It made Han Jinbao and Han Jinyu so angry that their father was almost paralyzed.
Lin Lan got 1,280 Yuan, a 90% new bicycle, a 90% new watch and a 90% new radio!
There were also two IOUs, each written by Han Jinbao and Han Jinyu as they both owed 500 Yuan respectively!
After getting these, Lin Lan kept thanking Han Yongfang, “Uncle Secretary Head, thank you for upholding justice. If it wasn’t for you, I would have to go to the Commune Public Security Bureau to file a complaint.”
Han Yongfang said, “Qingsong’s daughter-in-law, it’s not me, it’s Qingsong who had the ability. I don’t serve justice because of anyone specific, but as long as it is a member of this village, I will uphold justice for them. Of course, I will never cover it up if you ever make a mistake.”
“Old Master is fair,” Lin Lan knew that he was really straightforward so she didn’t say anything else. She took the money and the objects before she pushed the bike home. She thought that she couldn’t express her gratitude at this time so as not to be suspected of bribery, so she could only wait for a chance to repay him later.
Han Qingyun said, “Sister-in-law, let me send you home.”
Han Yongfang coughed and Han Qingyun scratched his head.
Lin Lan smiled and said, “Brother Qingyun, there’s no need, our village is very safe. If you don’t pick up things on the road and don’t leave your house open at night, you’re safe.”
In the middle of the night, the bright moon was in the sky as the silver splendor splashed on the ground like frost. Her pockets that carried more than one thousand dollars began to heat up. Lin Lan was inexplicably excited as her footsteps became more and more brisk. Then, she involuntarily paced her steps to the rhythm of ‘Ode to Joy’.
“Goddess of joy, holy and beautiful, shining brightly on the earth.”
